Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both sides are given, set both sides equal to eachother.

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

Segment CM is on the left and segment MB is on the right. From now on, solve for x.

Step 1: Isolate x by itself by subtracting the lesser value

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

-3x        -3x                     the x's on the left cross out

---------------------

 1 = 2x - 9

+9         +9                      having x on one side

----------------

10 = 2x

__________________________________________________________

Step 2: Divide each side by 2 to get rid of x's coefficient

10 = 2x

/2     /2

----------

5 = x

Solution: x = 5

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Substitute x for both sides since x = 5

3(5) + 1 = side CM

15 + 1 = side CM

16 = side CM

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Solve for the other side (segment MB)

5(5) - 9 = side MB

25 - 9 = side MB

14 = side MB

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Lastly, add up the sides

16 + 14 = segment CB

30 = segment CB

__________________________________________________________

Can someone help me find the answer to these 3 problems if so thank you .
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

1. r+s²=49

2. pq²=24

3. -4xy-6x²+2x²y-6y= -54

Step-by-step explanation:

1. r+s²=0+7²=49

2. pq²=(6)(2)²=6(4)=24

3. -4xy-6x²+2x²y-6y= -4(3)(2)-6(3)²+2(3)²(2)-6(2)

                                = -24-6(9)+2(9)(2)-12

                                = -24-54+36-12

                                = -78+36-12

                                = -42-12

                                = -54

A triangle has an angle that measures 90°. What type of triangle could it be? (Choose all that apply)
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The triangle could be a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangles have right angles. (90 degrees). All triangles have 3 angles that add up to 180 degrees. So as long as one of the angles is 90 degrees, it's a right triangle.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

1. 43, 45, and 47

2. 50, 52, and 54

3. 47 years old

4. 106 degrees

5. 66 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's assume that the first number in the three consecutive odd numbers is x.

We can write an equation to express this now. x + (x+2) = (x+4) + 41.

Combining like terms, we get 2x+2 = x+45. Subtracting by (x+2) on each side, we get x = 43. Since the smallest number is 43, we can find the two larger numbers as well, since they are 2 more than one another. Therefore, the numbers are 43, 45, and 47.

2. Let's assume that the first number in the three consecutive even integers is x.

We can write an equation to express this now. x + (x+2) = (x+4)+48

Combining like terms, we get 2x+2 = x+52. Subtracting by (x+2) on each side, we get x = 50. Since the smallest number is 50, we can find the two larger numbers as well, since they are 2 more than one another. Therefore, the numbers are 50, 52, and 54

3. We can write his current age in years as x. Next year, his age will be x+1. We know that the sum of his current age and his age next year is 73, so we can write an equation to express this.

x + (x+1) = 73. Therefore, 2x + 1 = 73, or 2x = 72. This means that x = 36, or his current age is 36. In 11 years, his age will be 36 + 11 = 47 years old.

4. (21x+1) + (14x+4) = 180. Combining like terms, we get 35x + 5 = 180 Subtracting by 5 on both sides, we get 35x = 175 This means that x = 5. Now, we can find the degree measures of both angles and find the larger one. The degree measure of the angle on the left is 21(5) + 1 = 106 degrees, and the degree measure of the angle on the right is 14(5) + 4 = 74 degrees. Therefore, the degree measure of the larger angle is 106 degrees.

5. We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can sum the angles up and equate them to 180 degrees.

(x-24) + (2x-108) + (1/3x+12) = 10/3x - 120 = 180. Adding 120 to both sides, we get 10/3x = 300. Multiplying both sides by 3/10, we get x = 900/10 = 90. Therefore, plugging in x = 90, we get 66 degrees.
